Comprehension given below is followed by some multiple choice question, Each question has one correct options. Choose the correct option. Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Two atomic orbitals combine to form two molecular orbitals called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and anti-bonding molecular orbital (ABMO). Energy of anti-bonding orbital is raised above the parent atomic orbitals that have combined and hte energy of the bonding orbital is lowered than the parent atomic orbitals. energies of various molecular orbitals for elements hydrogen to nitrogen increase in the order `sigma1s lt sigma^(star)1s lt sigma^(star)2s lt ((pi2p_(x))=(pi2p_(y))) lt sigma2p_(z) lt (pi^(star)2p_(x) = pi^(star)2p_(y)) lt sigma^(star)2p_(z)` and For oxygen and fluorine order of enregy of molecules orbitals is given below. `sigma1s lt sigma^(star)1s lt sigma2s lt sigma^(star)2s lt sigmap_(z) lt (pi2p_(x) ~~ pi2p_(y)) lt (pi^(star)2p_(x)~~ pi^(star)2py) lt sigma^(star)2p_(z)` Different atomic orbitalsof one atom combine with those atoms orbitals of the second atom which have comparable energies and proper orientation. Further, if the overlapping is head on, the molecular orbital is called sigma, `sigma` andif the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital is called pi, `pi`. The molecular orbitals are filled with electrons according to the same rules as followed for filling of atomic orbitals. However, the order for filling is not the same for all molecules or their ions. Bond order is one of the most important parameters to compare the strength of bonds. 67) Which of the following pair is expected to have the same bonod order?A. `C_(2)`B. `B_(2)`C. `O_(2)`D. `Be_(2)` |

Between `NF_(3)` and `BF_(3)`, which is the more polar molecule? Why? |
Answer» Between `NF_(3)` and `BF_(3), NF_(3)` is polar but `BF_(3)` is non-polar. In the `BF_(3)` molecule there is no lone pair of electrons on the central atom. The shape of this molecule is trigonal planar that is symmetrical. `NF_(3)` has three bond pairs and one lone pair. But due to the presence of a lone pair on nitrogen the polarities are not cancelled. Hence, the `NF_(3)` molecule is polar. | |

A polar covalent bond with positive and negative charge centres at its ends is called a dipole. The polarity of a dipole is measured by its dipole moment. Mathematically it is expressed as dipole moment, `mu=q xx d` where q and d are the net charge and the distance between the two charges respectively. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. The net dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule is the resultant of the various bond moments present in the molecule. The values of dipole moment are expressed in Debye (D) or in SI units in terms of coulomb- metre (Cm). One of the most important applications of dipole moment is in the determination of geometry and shape of molecules besides prediction of a number of properties of the molecules.
